METHOD OF MAKING PICTURES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 23, 1910.

Application filed October 16, 1909. Serial No. 523,102.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMBROSE C. G. WIL- LIAMS-FOOTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sulphur Springs, in the county of Grand and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Making Pictures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in methods of making pictures.

The object of my invention is to complete a picture formed in outline by writing the users initials or a suitable word or words, and then folding the paper upon itself before the ink dries, whereupon the blotting due to the folding completes the picture.

In the accompanying drawing-Figure 1 represents one form of a picture as completed by folding the paper on itself, thereby blotting it. Fig. 2 represents an outline picture with the initials written in, before the same is blotted, and Fig. 3 represents the same after the paper has been folded upon itself and then unfolded.

In the drawing, 1 represents a partially completed picture made upon a piece of paper which is adapted to fold upon the creased line 2. The person about to use this writes his initials, as indicated at 3 in Fig. 2, on one side of the line 2 and then, before the ink dries, folds the paper over upon the line 2, whereupon a completed picture is produced, as shown in Fig. 3. In case the blotting due to the folding over of the paper does not complete the picture sufliciently, it

may be touched up with a pen, pencil, or

brush to suit the users fancy.

In use I expect to prepare folding postal cards with incomplete pictures on them, or to have a series of sheets of paper bound up in a book, each sheet being scored so as to be capable of being folded over upon itself, the articles thus formed to be entitled The Bogy Book, or The Bogy Postal Card.

I claim 1. The method of making pictures, which consists in writing a symbol or symbols upon a partially completed picture and folding the latter over upon itself, whereby the blotting completes the picture, substantially as described.

2. The method of making pictures, which consists in preparing a partial picture upon a centrally scored piece of paper or similar material, writing a series of symbols over or near said scored line, and then folding said material over upon said scored line, whereby the blotting completes the picture, substantially as described.

3. The method of making pictures, which consists in scoring a piece of paper lengthwise, making an outline picture, half on each side of the scored line, writing the users initials in proximity to said scored line, and folding the paper over on said scored line, whereby the blotting completes the picture, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

AMBROSE G. G. WILLIAMS-FQOTE.
